  1. Dove? (If you're willing to divulge.) That doesn't look like chez Joe. Looks like they came out well, btw.

  2. Jesse,

    Yeah, it's a fun project (and, especially if you do horseshoes, rather badass).

    David,

    You are correct. The grinding and seasoning took place in my friend's garage, and the stuffing/hanging in the basement of his grandmother's old house.
